Is it just me, or is anybody else hearing traces of Nina Simone in the Tufts singer's phrasing?

Oh, an awesome thing happened! On this messageboard, this troll said something truly vile regarding the news that Wasilla, under Palin, made rape victims pay for their rape kits and would not reimburse them. This creep said, "They can decline the rape kit if they want." And people called him on his bs, and it got worse with each comment he made. He implied that people tax payers shouldn't pay for criminal investigations and that firefighters were once a private enterprise, and blah blah blah. So, one person posted a screencap after they made a donation to the Obama campaign essentially in this douchebag's name. More and more people made contributions. Within two hours, $1,350 had been donated to the Obama campaign. Overnight, over $1,500 had been donated.

another lovely sept. day.8 1/2 monthes w/o a real job and have never been happier...and I owe it all to you and swimming and roland p young. Seriously, JC 's swimming pool is truly the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I blush and say that you are even better.

lil' bobby:
Yes, trouble. the chlorine will burn your eyeballs out if you forget to don goggles,but you can't beat the price and the place is usually empty and besides it's the only pool i know of.( stevens has a nice pool in hobo., too, but it's more costly and it's in hobo. for christsakes)

I don't think people really understand how ass backwards this country really is. I am legitimately fearful that they the Republicans are going to steal this election again. All the moms with their pregnant teen daughters at home might give her the sympathy vote. Black, white but not Hispanic

Maria Bartiromo penned a rather effusive love letter to Sara with an H all over "Meet the Press"; I mean she was gushing! Made me nervous. And strangely aroused. Then disgusted with myself. Then aroused. Etc.

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.....Is this what will happen the day after Obama is elected? Hope so.

No, instead Diebold and Rove and the oil companies will install Palin as president, and she'll spew out more children onto the Oval Office desk while declaring America a theocracy and making Iran look like Denmark. And shooting moose. And lecturing us in that Marge Gunderson accent. All at the same time.

Mark my words. She's Reagan in lipstick. The U.S. is doomed.

You had me at "Marge Gunderson accent"

Parq:
Well, as Gail Collins points out today, anything involving "moose" is funny, and there's no way out of it. And Ike, you're obviously calling Reagan a pig, and that's just depolorable. He was, after all, a horse's, um, wait a minute . . .

Thu. 9/11/08 11:36am
Parq:
And Grub, no, its not going to be close enough to necessitate the GOP cheat tactics of the past two elections. Look, someone might as well say it in so many words: PLENTY OF VOTERS WILL VOTE GOP BECAUSE THE DEM'S CANDIDATE IS A BLACK GUY.

(hurricane) Ike, i fear there is merit to your words.....

however, she reagan how more experience and showed more awareness of knowledge of foreign affairs then palin. and although reagan pandered to the religious right, he wasn't overtly religious himself (W is more openly religious). it's a scary, scary world when i defend reagan when compared to palin. jesus fuck, FSM help us all!!!

We've always been doomed....we're born on an indian burial ground in a country that wages war over fossil fuel yet doesn't believe in evolution.It 'll get sillier and scarier yet.I'm going swimming.

Reagan loved jellybeans, whilst Mr. Bush 1 was renowned for vomiting on Japanese gentlemen. Mr. Clinton had trouble with his vas deferens, and Bush 2 no longer drinks beer, although America is dying to have a beer with him!

What a great song. I too am a "Little Girl Blue [party]" believing in pixie dust and crossing my fingers, picking up lucky pennies in hopes of democrats winning the election. I did recently watch the movie IDIOCRACY which takes place 500 years in the future, though it is looking like the present.

Honestly, what would the difference in agendas be between Clinton and Obama? They're still both corporate whores, and neither one of them will end the war. Add drug czar Joe Biden to the ticket and my support evaporates. My vote's going for Cynthia McKinney unless there are significant changes. Sorry.

how many republicans have ever heard Nina Simone? It would be a better world.

What NGH said, Miss T. That Nina track was as welcome in a stressful moment as a nice cuppa.

I respectfully disagree. I think a black man could beat a white man in an election for president. It depends on the individual candidates, of course, as with an "all white" race. It is a factor, but racism alone will not decide the election.

If all the GOP had to do was point out that Obama was an Afro-American, then we wouldn't have to listen all their other hysterical rantings regarding Obama, liberals, 9/11, etc.

What happened to "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself", America?

Ike:
Mickey, that's what I thought in 2000: "Bush = Gore, so whatever, I'm going third-party." We know how that turned out. At least the Dems are merely disappointing, not actively vicious, and don't start (as many) random horrible wars for no reason. Or try to let more arsenic into our drinking water. As for drugs, blame the ignorant masses for making sane drug policies politically unfeasible. Just eat chocolate instead of doing drugs.

Parq:
Lucky, from your mouth to God's ears, but I doubt it. May I respectfully point out that the GOP doesn't *have* to remind voters that the Dem's candidate is a black guy. They can stay above the fray, chide the Dems every time they bring up on the issue, and sit back and count on what they know human nature to be.

sorry to mislead, the time thing on the 'accu' playlist isn't so accu...the steve miller is vinyl, not the miss murgatroid, that was a cd.

The reason the bayou is not regenerating on its own is because we have forced the mississippi to run down one channel and we dredge that channel. If the mississippi were allowed to silt up and then change channels it would over time spray across the delta like sprinkler and would renew (resilt) an area of the bayou then move on - of course there a lot of docks and infrastructure that would soon no longer be on the mississippi. We even know where the next channel would be - as the mississippi has already tried to jump into it despite of all our dredging and levies.
